Passageway in the Old Town


I was waiting at the bottom of these steps for a couple of dozen tourists to walk down before I could walk up. They were clinging to the handrail and not happy they had to let go to pass me. It was becoming rather Monty Pythonesque, as they clutched my clothes and gave me dirty looks. In the end, I moved to the right so they could continue their downwards path with more confidence. Walk the Vieille Ville at your peril... ha-ha ...

  4. Hi Jilly,
    Thanks for stopping by Asheville DP! Now that I see your other blogs, I know why you liked the dog! Watch out tomorrow, I think there's another dog and another restaurant...
    I like your pictures too. Especially all the dogs!

  5. Beautifully composed picture.

    Now you naughty girl, you could have moved out of the way in the first place to let these poor elderly people cling to the handrail! Haven't you learnt to be polite in France???? LOL

  7. The photo is, as usual in Menton, very nice and show those typical paths in common with all Sea-Town there.
